Different worlds or just one planet?

Is this set on a few different planets or just one?

I believe it's just one. It seems that your character was in a cryogenically frozen pod for long term travel, and the trailer seems to talk about the one planet

There's 2 planets. From what I've read, one's a civilized, safer planet, while the other one is full of dangerous monsters.

Will it feature space battles and real-time planet landing?

They haven't talked about that, but space battles haven't been mentioned. Your ship is going to be a home base where your companions hang around and you travel between planets, but it's unknown whether there will be space battles in it or not.

Regardless of ambitions-from Obsidian's side I mean-they don't propably have neither the experience to design space battles of any scale-just my two cents tbh-and such an element might blew game's budget to the stars, so publisher's response would be negative.

But of course, it would be incredible if it happened.

The game centers around two planets, each is made up of several non-linear areas (hub style). You can also explore the interior of your ship, but you can't pilot it; it's basically just your house/storage and how you travel between certain areas (i.e. theres no flying or space battles)

Mass Effect 2 seems to be the most comparitive model.
With the exception that OWs having two fleshed out planets + space stations instead of flying throughout the galaxy to visit a single city on numerous planets.

I haven't seen anything about Space Stations in the articles i've been reading. What site did you see it on?

According to the Game Informer article here: https://www.gameinformer.com/preview/2018/12/07/six-big-takeaways-from-the-outer-worlds

"In addition to these two planets, players can explore several moons, asteroids, and space stations spread across Halcyon."

"In addition to these two planets, players can explore several moons, asteroids, and space stations spread across Halcyon." wrong there's only 1 planet Terra 2 and a moon Monarch the rest of the planets are just for show there's a relay message station you can go to for a quest the groundbreaker ship you will spend most of your time there Phinea's Lab an asteroid that's it the other planets Typhon/Hephaestus/Olympus/Tartarus and Eridanous are not visible Eridanous and Olympus are gas giants so in all you get one planet with 2 staging "maps" and the companions are not "useful" when you take them with you as you can't command them to ''loot'' ANYTHING at all
